KJV Holy Bible
Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.
Matthew 26:25.
Main Text:

A. INTRODUCTION
✍️Understand the reason why you were born. Do not let betrayal (challenges) prevent you from achieving your God-given vision and goal. Jesus pressed on to fulfill his purpose
✍️Jesus words were coming from a man someone with a broken heart and contrite spirit. They were more like a curse. (It would have been better if that man was not born ).
Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.

Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?

✍️They will pretend to be with you but inside their hearts they are breathing fire , harbouring hatred and strife.
✍️Even our parents sometimes do use these words to signal their feeling of betrayal by you.
✍️Judas attitude is also seen in a person's ability to betray his friend and/or organisation by revealing secrets which were agreed not to be published.
✍️Another sign of betrayal by the Judas characters include avoidance in participating in me

Valentine's Day originated from ancient Roman and Christian traditions, specifically the martyrdom of Saint Valentine, who defied Emperor Claudius II's ban on marriage 💕. Over time, it evolved into a celebration of love and affection, influenced by European courtly love customs and commercialization in the 18th century."
